In today's episode we're giving you a 30 minute TLDR on the life of Constantine the Great from the death of his father, Constantius Chlorus through the aftermath of his own death many years later in Constantinople. For a more detailed telling of Constantine's life, we encourage you to pick up a decent translation of Eusebius of Caesarea (Vita Constantantini) or Lactantius (De Mortibus Persecutorum). Both sources are positiviely biased, but they make up a great deal of what we know about Constantine
